Other Considerations for Forms
Consider the following items, unless Table 106 or Table 108 provides other direction.
v IBM recommends you test the Park function when you intend to run multiple-part forms. If you notice forms
feed problems, try using the Eject function. If using the Eject function is ineffective, disable the Park function,
and use the push pull forms path.
